About

Hi 👋 I'm Kimberly Chan, a Seattle-based artist who paints vibrant florals in a gouache-inspired style.

  • Before I was an artist, I was always making smart choices.

    I grew up in Hong Kong, where school paths were divided between "science" and "art", and creativity was often treated as a backup plan. I chose the practical route, first as an international student in the U.S., then as a product manager in tech. Art had no space during those years, but it never really left me. It lived quietly, like a seed waiting for the right season to bloom.

  • That season finally arrived when I gave myself permission to create — not for productivity, but for joy.

    What began as a small act of curiosity during the soft chaos of motherhood grew into a daily practice of painting digital florals that feel both familiar and new.

    My work is inspired by the worlds I move between — Seattle’s gardens, Hong Kong’s flower markets, and the longing to belong somewhere in between. Each piece is an exploration of color as clarity: grounding neutrals that feel like home, eucalyptus greens that restore calm, heritage reds that hold courage, and indigo blues that remind us to breathe.

  • I paint to connect.

    To offer a quiet sanctuary for anyone who’s ever followed the “right” path only to find it wasn’t theirs. My art celebrates the quiet strength of becoming — the light we amplify when we allow ourselves to bloom, exactly as we are.

  • Fun Facts About Me:

    ✨ I’ve always been drawn to flowers, but keeping real ones alive is a different story—most of my houseplants are leafy greens! 🌿
    ✨ I grew up in Hong Kong, moved to Seattle for university, and met my favorite person through competitive games of badminton.
